basically what he is saying is
he thinks it'll be funny
when the kid sprays nitrous
and blows his motor up

So yeah def get some 13:1 and spray 100shot
because low compression and forced induction don't belong together

Its 11.1 Ls motor.. And he would spray a 55 to a 75 shot. And High compression and nitrous are a good thing you just have to know what your doing.. I never said low compression and nitrous was a bad thing.. But Obviosly the higher compression one would make more power.

ok after the other guy posted and said you were joking, I thought maybe you were smart.

then you made this post so now I pretty much think your a moron.

so high compression and nitrous would be good. what about high compression and boost?

anything is possible with good tuning.

lol... Ok You have said nothing to your deffense about high compression and nitrous.. You need to go do some reasearch before you make stupid posts about something you have provided no input on. Please....School me on this topic you seem to know.

Honda has motors that are stock higher compression than 11 to 1...Its just a high compression LS.. And i am refering to this setup when i say nitrous would be good.. I would rather have a 11.1 Ls with a small shot than to have stock at 9.2.. Just alot more power and can be just as reliable. FUEL AND TUNING!! There is nothing crazy about this setup, Very simple.

High compression and nitrous have the same problems as high boost and high compression, it's all peak cylinder pressure vs. heat dissipation. If you run high enough compression that you're on the safety limit of pump gas, and then add nitrous, you're going to have problems. It doesn't matter where your extra pressure comes from, nitrous or boost, it has the same effect, just as the different amounts of nitrous will have different effects than different amounts of boost will. I dare anyone to argue that.

It's all down to tuning and what type of gas you're running. It's up to you whether you want to make an engine that runs on the ragged edge of safety and detonates when the weather changes or you want to make something reliable that will make great power under all conditions but at the expense of a few HP. If you're going to run nitrous, make sure you build in a safety margin so you don't exceed that safety margin when you spray.

Honda engines that are higher than 11:1 have different chamber designs than the lower compression ones, you can't just assume they're the same. The engine (cams, valves, pots, combustion chamber) is designed around the higher compression, there are a lot more design considerations than just adding higher comp pistons. It's like comparing an Ecotec and a small block V8. They're both GM products, but they're as different as night and day in design..
Making oversimplified assumptions can cause a lot of problems.
